The Bachelor of Science with Honours degree comprises one full-time year of coursework that includes a research component. Students are admitted to the BSc(Hons) programme following the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree with a high level of achievement in appropriate subjects. Subject areas range from Astronomy to Zoology and a student may complete the programme in two subjects if desired (combined honours).

Depending on your chosen path, you can become anything from a seismologist to a soil technician, meteorologist to a marine biologist, psychologist to a policy advisor, software engineer to a science writer, forensic analyst to a food technician. Canterbury’s leading-edge IT sector is facing a shortage of qualified graduates, meaning UC Computer Science graduates are in high demand.
